Don't seem to have had any new clips transfered over to the Getty Images site since June. On the other hand, I noticed the other day that the front page promotes iStockFootage as the main source of video on the site. Which is really cool, IMO.

Good to know they are having promotion. I wish I had my newer clips transferred. I have nothing over there since Dec 2010.

I would like to know why I only have 2 videos on Getty and not any of the others. I have one Vetta video and one regular video. No others.

It seems odd that the Vetta was from 2010'ish and the other regular collection video was from June of this year. No other videos from that huge time period have went over. I was under the impression that most all Exclusive videos went over.

I'd like clarification on this too please! I had my first video files transferred August this year about a 3rd of my port at that time. I havent had any ported over since, including my latest vetta files that I thought would be ported over ASAP?

There are a couple of questions going on here. Firstly, the OP was about a bunch of files that seem to have disappeared from the GI collection. This we are looking at right now. If you have noticed this yourself, please contact me directly at my email address or through site mail.

The other question is that your files have still not shown up on the GI site after a long wait time. This is a logistical challenge we are working on. Files continue to be sent to GI, but there are still many to go. We do this two ways: Through large scale physical transfer of files (they take several months to get into the system at GI) and through an automated system (this sends a mix on brand new files and queued files in a steady stream and includes photos, illustrations and video). Eventually your files will get there.

This two way system seems like a truly unfair practice! So some contributors have to wait months (even years, self included) whilst other contributors work are included straight away in a nice steady stream?

Maybe it could be useful : I noticed also that only 19 of my files appear in Getty, but I had sales of some files which aren't part of them listed in GI report of Istock. It seems that our user name is not a good keyword for GI search, I found some of my files I didn't found with my user name, but found with for example the keyword "plane".
